4 Click the arrow to the left of the bin to expand it and view its contents.

Note: To move an item to the top level of a project, drag the item to the Name column

header.

To make a copy of a Browser item:

m Hold down the Option key and drag the item to a new bin.

To remove a clip, sequence, or bin from a project:

m Select the item and press Delete. Deleting clips from a project does not delete them from

any sequences in the project or on the disk.

Modifying Clip Properties in the Browser

You can modify the properties of clips directly in the Browser and enter up to four separate

comments for each clip. Some properties can be modiﬁed by choosing an option from a

shortcut menu. Others can be changed by typing directly into the Property column in the

Browser.

Changing the properties of clips in the Browser is a convenient way to modify the properties

of multiple clips at once. For example, you can set a group of clips to the same composite

mode before they are edited into a sequence. For more information about the difference

between a clip in the Browser and a clip in a sequence, see “Using Clips in Sequences” on

page 143.

To modify the properties of a clip in the Browser:

m Control-click a clip and choose Item Properties from the shortcut menu. See “Getting

Information About the Properties of Clips” on page 160.

To make changes to multiple items or column entries in list view:

m When your Browser is in list view, you can change multiple Browser items, or all the

entries in one column if it has a shortcut menu. Select the items you want to change, then

use the shortcut menu to change them.

Renaming Clips, Sequences, and Bins

You can rename clips, sequences, and bins directly in the Browser. Renaming a clip only

changes the clip name in the project. It does not change the name of the media ﬁle on your

disk. Likewise, changing the name of a bin that corresponds to a folder on your disk only

changes the name of the bin in the project, not the folder on the disk or clips in a sequence.

To rename clips, sequences, and bins in a project:

1 Select the clip, sequence, or bin.

2 Click the name.
